Today We Choose Awareness of Heaven

The conscious choice of Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the fear of hell, when it is raised from its protective shield of unawareness, and is brought to light. Who can decide between the clearly seen and the unrecognized?

We recognize we make a conscious choice between what has existence and what has nothing but an appearance of the truth. Its pseudo-being, brought to what is real, is flimsy and transparent in the light. It holds no terror now, for what was made enormous, vengeful, pitiless with hate, demands obscurity for fear to be invested there. Now it is recognized as but a foolish, trivial mistake.

Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now, and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 138, W-pI.138.10:1-2;11:2-5;12:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 138 Insights.)

The ego loves to dramatize and catastrophize. It’s how it makes a protective shield to hide the fact that it is simply a mistaken idea with no substance nor existence in truth. But thankfully we have the means to see past the appearances that seem to threaten us.

The Holy Spirit is ever present ready to shine the Light of truth on the false images the ego projects. Just like the image on the screen in a theater fades away when the room lights are turned up, the ego’s false images fade away as we welcome the Holy Spirit’s Light to shine upon them.

Today we practice once again bringing all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit and welcome His Light to shine upon them. This is how the decision becomes clear for our choice for Heaven.
